Nutrient - Alkalising minerals

The modern Western diet is considered to be acidogenic due to the high intake of acid-forming foods and low intake of alkali-forming minerals. The body may mobilize alkaline calcium salts from the skeleton to maintain normal acid-alkali balance, and this may lead to a reduction in bone mineral density.

Alkaline minerals may help to reduce the net acid content of the diet and preserve calcium in bone, helping to support normal bone mineral density.
